Stardust! Summer Celebration

ChesLen Preserve | Fri, June 07, 2019, 6:30pm - 9:30pm

Stardust: It’s literal. It’s metaphorical. It’s musical. And when it touches us, it’s magical!

On Friday, June 7th, the ever-amazing Saturn, a brightly shining Jupiter, and a dazzling Mercury will glimmer overhead. But they’ll have to compete for attention as we gather at our 1,282-acre ChesLen Preserve in southern Chester County—this year’s host for Natural Lands’ annual Stardust! Summer Celebration. Don’t miss the region’s unofficial kick-off to summer. An evening of cocktails, roving supper, and twilight magic—all wrapped in a stunning landscape and sweeping vistas—awaits.

Stardust! event proceeds advance Natural Lands’ highest regional priorities for saving open space, caring for nature, and connecting people to the outdoors.

RSVP by May 20 to ensure your space at this always sold-out event. Questions, please call 610-353-5587 ext. 234.

I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue Natural Lands or any of their “releasees” from all liability, claims, demands, losses, injuries, damage to property, or other damages on my and/or the minor’s account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the “releasees” or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement I, the Minor, or anyone on the Minor’s behalf makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim.
